A wet-suit? Hell no! Shorts are too much as it is Although I plan to try a spot of surfing in the next few weeks which I will probably break out my neon op-shop wet-suit for.

And now it is 9:35pm and I have been on the go since 7:30am. I got 8 hours sleep last night but not much of a catch-up. third day out of the gym. LAME. Thankfully work has been medium intensity with the physical labour and tomorrow I will have time to get straight to the gym. Not many days left to make my goal happen!

Oh it is a bit warmer up here, for sure. But then, I was swimming in Kapiti Coast waters in winter when I lived down there, so maybe just tougher (To be fair I did pretty much run in, dive, splash about and run out again.)

Yeah, so I saw I'm in AKL. Great to see fellow vegans working at strength and health in Aotearoa.

Scheduled rest day tomorrow. Back into the gym tomorrow for some 5x5 goodness.

Ate really well today. However I have sat around all weekend setting up Debian on my new netbook. This has left me feeling pretty gross.

Rest day today. Lots of eating! Lots of sitting in front of a computer too :/ But hey, at least I won't be burning away the calories

I have been SO busy recently. But I have still beern making it to the gym and logging my workoputs. I see progress every visit so things are rocking well. I have been doing a 5x5 program for the last 3-4 visits, it is going nicely but sometimes I wonder if it'll work well given that I am resting more days and doing less exercises. The ideas are good, and the proof is the endorsement and use by some very strong people.

While I haven't stabilised upto a constant over 72kg weight (my January goal) - I must be realistic and say that that was quite a hard one to pull off - in mid dec I was weighing around 69-70kg quite steadily, so I am still very proud of my progress. Bring on the next couple of kilos!

First off congrats on the weight gain. I am in that weight gain hunt as well and damn does it feel good to get on the scale and see improvement. 2nd you have done a great job being thorough and keeping up with your journal. You have qualified for a prize package. We all hope you continue to use it. I was in Auckland last spring. Cool little city, good music scene and decent comedy scene too.

Soooo, I haven't been to the gym in a little over two weeks, mostly beacuse of the following:* Lost my swipe card (it is 24 hours and I find it hard to get there during staff hours, so getting a new one has been problematic)* Started a band - which means 2x late nights practicing per week.

I aim to get back into it tomorrow though, as I feel I am adjusting to the new time constraints. I really do feel like I have lost strength and tone, but I can't beat myself up over it.

Been back in the gym regularly for a few weeks now, and making good progress. And today my thighs and arms ache. Such a massive effort yesterday

Those curls have left my biceps hating me, and the squats being 5kg higher than last time was great.
